original title:The Intersection of Ai and Web3.0 Technologies

Discuss three groundbreaking projects exploring the intersection of AI and Web 3.0 technologies.

Discussion Overview

• The topic of this discussion is artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3, exploring how these two areas can promote each other and solve current challenges. The discussion was moderated by Matt Stevenson, Head of Research at Pantera, and included Ilia Pellun, co-founder and CEO of Near Protocol, Jacob (also known as Const), a core developer of BitTensor, and Sean, CEO and co-founder of Sahara.

• Jacob He shared BitTensor’s efforts in creating a decentralized AI market, improving the quality of AI models and data privacy through market mechanisms and decentralized consensus mechanisms. He believes that the correct incentive mechanism and efficient resource allocation are the key to the success of decentralized AI systems.

• Ilia Starting from the vision of Near Protocol, he emphasized the importance of building a decentralized Internet and introduced how the Near AI project can promote the development of a new generation of the Internet through automated programming and decentralized infrastructure. He pointed out that ensuring the privacy of user data is the key to success.SafetySex and privacy are key to building a decentralized internet.

• Sean From the perspective of user privacy and data sovereignty, Sahara introduced a decentralized system designed specifically for AI.BlockchainPlatform, prioritizes users’ asset sovereignty andSafetyHe emphasized that the future development of AI requires a multi-layered infrastructure to ensure that users will not sacrifice privacy and data sovereignty while enjoying AI capabilities.

BitTensor: Decentralized AI Market and Incentive Mechanism

• JacobIntroducing the decentralized network built by BitTensor, anyone can join and contribute their computing resources and data. This decentralized approach can create a global AI market that allows anyone to participate and benefit from it.

• JacobEmphasizes the importance of a correct incentive mechanism in a decentralized AI system. A correct incentive mechanism can effectively solve the current AI andcryptocurrencyHe mentioned that BitTensor has attracted a large number of teams and talents through market mechanisms, motivating them to drive innovation into the network. This competition mechanism is more efficient than traditional centralized organizations.

• In discussing decentralized AI systemsSafetySex and privacy,Jacob提到了使用去中心化的共识机制来确保系统的安全性和可靠性。他强调，通过市场机制和去中心化的共识机制，可以提升AI模型的质量和数据隐私。这种方法可以防止单点故障和恶意攻击，确保系统的稳定性和安全性。

• JacobIt also talked about how BitTensor can handle large-scale data and computing needs through a decentralized computing network. This approach ensures the efficient allocation and utilization of computing resources, thereby ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the system.

Near Protocol: Building a decentralized internet with automated programming

• IliaDiscussed Near Protocol’s vision to build a new generation of the Internet through decentralized infrastructure and AI technology that can achieve higher security, privacy, and user sovereignty.

• IliaIntroduction Near Protocol's vision is to build a trustless decentralized Internet. This Internet will provide payment, identity, provenance and smartcontractInfrastructure such as AI and blockchain will enable users to enjoy high-quality AI applications without sacrificing privacy and ensure the security and privacy of user data. This requires not only advanced technical support, but also ensuring the transparency and verifiability of the system to enhance user trust.

• NearIt started out as an AI project and later becameBlockchainIlia emphasized how the combination of AI and blockchain technology can create more useful AI applications and promote the development of a decentralized internet.

• IliaSpeaking of the relaunch of Near AI, the goal is to teach machines to program and change the way software is built. The relaunch of Near AI is an important step in realizing the vision of Near Protocol, which aims to promote the development of a new generation of the Internet through automated programming and decentralized infrastructure. This will enable computers to write code based on users' natural language requests, providing a more efficient and verifiable software development environment.

• IliaEmphasized the use of advanced encryption technology and strict access control mechanisms to ensure the security and privacy of decentralized AI systems. In addition, he also mentioned the need for continuous security audits and monitoring to promptly discover and fix potential security vulnerabilities.

• IliaPointing out that decentralized solutions need to compete with centralized solutions in terms of user experience, AI model quality, and data set value. These are key criteria for evaluating the practical feasibility of decentralized AI projects.

Sahara: A decentralized solution for user privacy and data sovereignty

• Sean It is pointed out that as the capabilities of AI models improve, these models begin to affect people's work and monetization opportunities. For example, AI models can replace some simple design, text editing and translation work. This has raised concerns about user privacy and data sovereignty.

• Sean It is emphasized that when users use AI functions, they often need to upload personal data, such as health records, financial reports, and chat records. This data may be used to train more powerful AI models, thereby further replacing the user's business. Therefore, protecting user privacy and data sovereignty becomes crucial.

• Sahara Starting from the asset sovereignty and security of users, we are committed to creating a high-performance decentralized infrastructure, aiming to build a blockchain platform designed specifically for AI, enabling users to enjoy AI functions without sacrificing privacy, ensuring the security, fairness and accessibility of all users.

• Sean It is mentioned that Sahara's high-performance decentralized infrastructure is designed to ensure the privacy and security of user data while providing elastic computing resources to cope with sudden computing needs. This design ensures that the system can maintain efficient and stable operation under high load conditions.

• Sean It is believed that the future development of AI requires a multi-layered infrastructure to support user privacy and data sovereignty. This requires not only advanced technical support, but also ensuring the transparency and verifiability of the system to enhance user trust.SaharaThe multi-layered infrastructure includes the execution layer, computing layer, and data layer, which are used for private user data storage, AI model training and reasoning, and data management and exchange, respectively. This multi-layered design not only ensures the efficient and stable operation of the system, but also enhances the trust and security of users. Sahara's vision is to promote a more fair, secure, and accessible AI ecosystem through technological innovation.
